Amazon, they’re not shipping them until at least a couple of weeks from now though.My friend comes from USA to Europe. Where people from USA order EX5? Amazon or ... ??? I like to change SMSL m500
Ordered from shenzhen, no duties, appreciated.My friend comes from USA to Europe. Where people from USA order EX5? Amazon or ... ??? I like to change SMSL m500
Buy it in Europe. Don't make it harder for yourself, should a warranty claim be necessary.My friend comes from USA to Europe. Where people from USA order EX5? Amazon or ... ??? I like to change SMSL m500
From what I understand, the heat it's from the HP Amp section witch remains active all the time, even when not used for driving HP, because it shares the power supply with the DAC portion.It definitely gets hot after a few hours of driving.
I don't know where this fever is coming from.
it actually is warm even at stand-by mode. You need to turn it off using the switch at the back.....From what I understand, the heat it's from the HP Amp section witch remains active all the time, even when not used for driving HP, because it shares the power supply with the DAC portion.
Also, the fact that the device has an internal power supply does not help too much in that regard, the heat being dissipated inside the housing.

And one more thing, I wish there was a separate XLR and unbalanced gain store on the front.
I wish the firmware could store the gain of XLR and unbalanced separately.
The reason is that many users often use headphones and earphones together.
Because the impedance of headphones and earphones is different
Ex) When the XLR gain is high and you want to set the unbalanced gain differently or vice versa
It will be very useful for users who use both earphones and headphones.

In my life, I’ve never had, or heard of, a physical On/Off button wearing out.
Sure that would work but.. the EX5 is basically a bit of a L30+D10B mix-and-match with bonus XLR/4.4mm output (no "true" balanced headphone out, that's why I say L30+D10B). My point is, you could get D10B and SA-1 rather than EX5+SA-1 and save a bunch of money..Would this pair well with the Singxer SA-1, as a DAC? I know there are better, single purpose options out there, but I'm just curious if anyone has tried pairing the two, and what the results were.
1st post on here btw, after lurking for a good while!
Isn't the button type stronger than the switch?
It is quite inconvenient to have to turn on/off the dac every time due to heat, and the durability of switch sparks, etc. is a concern.
Am I right?

I can only give personal opinions, I really do not find remote inconvenience at all.
Now, for clarity, this is about setting up a desktop, even though I can't really see too many people using headphone amplifiers away. Honestly, the on/off button on my office DAC/amp is always close to being remote. I can reach it without moving from my seat.
Do you mean a push in for on, push in again for off vs a ‘rocker’ switch. I don’t know if one is better than the other, but I’ve never know either fail for me.
I can only offer a personal opinion, I really don’t find it the remotest inconvenience at all.
Now, for clarity, this is for a desktop setup, though I can’t really see too many people using a headphone amp at distance. Frankly, the On/Off buttons on my office DAC/amps are always as close as those on a remote. I can reach it without moving from my seat.
It already stated that the XLR connector on the front is there only for convenience. It is actually sharing the same connection with the single-ended output so internally they are driven by the same output amplifier.
Yes. It is just so you can use balanced headphone cable and plug it in. It is in fact the same unbalanced output.Front unbalanced and xlr share the output, so is xlr on the front unbalanced after all?
